Russia deploys 11 ships on combat duty in Black Sea

As of the morning of July 26, 11 enemy ships are on combat duty in the Black Sea. Among them is one Kalibr cruise missile carrier, the total salvo is up to 4 missiles. This is stated in the message of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In addition, there is 1 enemy ship in the Sea of Azov. And in the Mediterranean Sea, there are 8 enemy ships on combat duty, of which 3 are carriers of Kalibr cruise missiles, the total salvo is up to 28 missiles.

During the day, in the interests of the aggressor country of the Russian Federation, the passage of the Kerch-Yenikal Strait was carried out by:

• to the Sea of Azov - 9 ships, of which 1 continued the movement from the Bosphorus Strait;
• to the Black Sea - 19 vessels, of which 5 continued their movement in the direction of the Bosphorus Strait.

The Russian Federation continues to violate the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea of 1974 (SOLAS) by turning off automatic identification systems (AIS) on civilian vessels in the waters of the Sea of Azov, the report says.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the intelligence review of the British Ministry of Defense states that the aggressor country of Russia redeployed ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet after the failure of the "grain agreement", which may indicate an increase in the risks of violence in the Black Sea.
